A seaside respite for midcentury architecture aficionados: Located on Hayling Island, off the Hampshire coast of England, this three-bedroom house was designed in 1963 by British architect Hedley Greentree, who was just starting his practice. Its open-plan spaces, clean lines, and exposed brickwork reflect the influences of 20th-century masters, such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. A modernist anomaly in a British coastal setting, it's available for rent—and the beach is minutes away.

Above: Painted brick walls and Brazilian Paraná pine floors continue into the bedrooms. A white butterfly chair in the corner is in keeping with the midcentury architecture. Learn about the origins of the chair inObject Lessons: The Classic Butterfly Chair.
